So every single one (part from the Lambda) is basically a DX shape. Anyone know why this parallelogram section is favoured?
The parallelogram shape means that the pedal turns itself to the best position however you attack it with your foot.
With non parallelogram shaped pedals
it's possible to actually place your foot on the edge (or short side if you will) and ride along like that for a short while then the pedal will sort of snap round 90 deg which can be unsettling and/or lead to your foot slipping off the pedal. More easily done with pedals that have a deep section like those Odysseys.
